Description

This photo was made at Stockdale Cove, one of my favorite places to photograph the moon rise in the fall. Due to the severe drought in the area, this year I was able to walk well out into the cove to compose the moon rising by some dead trees that would be inaccessible if water levels were normal. As I was setting up a shot of the moon, a heron flew by. Hoping it would fly in front of the moon I fired off several shots as it moved across the scene. Rather than keep just one frame, I decided to combine all the frames together into one photo, I thought this told the story of this photo best.
